¹⁹ Then God said: “No, ^(A)Sarah your wife shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name Isaac; I will establish My ^(B)covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his descendants after him.

¹¹ Now ^(A)Abraham and Sarah were old, well advanced in age; and ^[a]Sarah ^(B)had passed the age of childbearing.

⁹ Then they said to him, “Where is Sarah your wife?”

So he said, “Here, ^(A)in the tent.”

¹⁰ And He said, “I will certainly return to you ^(B)according to the time of life, and behold, ^(C)Sarah your wife shall have a son.”

(Sarah was listening in the tent door which was behind him.) ¹¹ Now ^(D)Abraham and Sarah were old, well advanced in age; and ^[a]Sarah ^(E)had passed the age of childbearing. ¹² Therefore Sarah ^(F)laughed within herself, saying, ^(G)“After I have grown old, shall I have pleasure, my ^(H)lord being old also?”

¹³ And the Lord said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh, saying, ‘Shall I surely bear a child, since I am old?’ ^14 (I)Is anything too hard for the Lord? ^(J)At the appointed time I will return to you, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.”

¹¹ By faith ^(A)Sarah herself also received strength to conceive seed, and ^(B)she^[a] bore a child when she was past the age, because she judged Him ^(C)faithful who had promised.
